EuroHockey Nations Challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The EuroHockey Nations Challenge is a competition run by the European Hockey Federation for European national field hockey teams. There are Challenges for outdoor and indoor hockey for both men's and women's sides. The Challenges precede the current EuroHockey Nations Trophy, which itself precedes the EuroHockey Nations Championship. Teams can gain promotion and relegation from their divisions based on their final standings.[1]
